Although I have no ties to Georgia Tech, I am a sucker for custom plates and was thrilled to grab a pair of these Georgia Tech 45's. He had 35's as well and was taking offers. I really wanted a pair and decided, but put out a fair $180 plus shipping price which the seller accepted. They should arrive March 11th and I am happy to add these to my collection. Maybe they will live here forever, or maybe they will be traded for something different.
UPDATE 8/26/2026:
As part of a gym downsizing, I decided to throw my GT plates on the market. TJ Hovel inquired and purchased them for $180. Turns out they are destined for Adam Gotsis. TJ was great to work with on the phone and has a background in strongman and grip. He hosts a podcast called The AM Lift Show in addition to training athlete and hosting competition. I enjoyed talking to his buddy Evan Markl who is also a lifter and vintage iron collector. Travis and Evan are well connected having worked the Shaw Strongman show, hanging with Brian Shaw and Hafthor Bjornsson, and other well known athletes. His picture reel in his phone was like going to a museum. Great to make some new contacts and with this sale, I am going to take a little break from selling stuff.
